COBO'S First GROW !!!!!!

[cobo]

Is this a MALE preflower ?????

 

[cobo]

IS THIS MALE ???????

IS THIS MALE ???????

I think this is a male, but it does have what seem to me to brown pistils, theses 2(the only 2) are very small, and I zoomed in on them through a microscope, so might be still to early to tell ?

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

Hi cobo
My guess is yes, but they are still pretty small. They will declare themselves well before pollen drop time. Another few days and we'll know for sure.

 

[cobo]

Thx for ur imput Mr GreenJeans Hope im wrong , but doesnt look good at min

 

[marimbas]

those plants came from Buydutchseeds?

 

[cobo]

yea but thier NIRVANA seeds . cheaper going straight to nirvana to buy them



WHY ???????

 

[cobo]

I topped 4 of the plants last night, they were starting to get out of hand.

The 4 on the right are the ones that got topped




And here's the RUNT , its coming along fine

 

[cobo]

I found theses two 6 gallon buckets in town today. They were just £3 each. Thought that they would do for 2 mothers .





Anyone any ideas of how best to use them for hydro ???

[cobo]

Here's a picture update , like i said i topped 4 of the plants and have tied down 3 of them












AND heres the RUNT who is coming along nicely

[cobo]

Just a quick ppic update. All the plants except the runt have been topped and are tied down,plants seem to be healthy and well, there drinking alot of the water, about 10L every 4 days .

 

[cobo]

Fuck... while i was checking my plants i broke the top off of 1 of them just as the 2 new shoots where pushing through

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

Don't worry cobo - in 3 weeks you won't be able to tell.... If they're sucking down more than 2L a day, they must be very happy and growin like mad. They sure look healthy from here... Nice work on the ties!

 

[cobo]

THX ..Mr GreenJeans

I was hoping to get some more input from the members, but they don’t seem to reply to anything. Ah well at least I can see they are reading it.

I was thinking of starting flowering them in a week’s time,
What you think.?????


How much of a stretch would you expect during flowering, remembering Im using Eco (ENVIROLITE) lights. ??????

[Tokabowl]

Hey Cobo hows it goin?
Lookin good man nice work! Imho you should wait a bit more than a week before flippin them to 12/12 depending on what vertical space you got (and it looks like u got a fair bit too), especially if uve topped them, they take a while a while to recover and itll let the small ones on the left catch up a bit and you train them too, just remember that more veg = bigger yield. I would definitely train them and have a nice evenly filled canopy for flowering with those envirolights, they do work great but they dont penetrate very far so you want to have as many tops aspossible close to the light
Keep on the good work man, good luck with the rest of the grow ill be following with interest...

Peace

[cobo]

when i flip them to 12/12 and switch to the red light , would it be ok when they stretch to add the white (veg) light for the lower branchs ????

 

[radium-]

cobo: Yes of course just make sure both lights are 12/12
Congrats on the recovery also What exactly did you do just lower pH ? If so what did you use to lower it?

 

[cobo]

Yea I didn’t realize that the PH would creep up over the course of a couple of days, it went up to a ph reading of 7 before I knew, seemed to burn some of the leafs, but they recovered well, although the leafs that burned stayed the same but all new growth is developing well, they are drinking a couple of liters of water a day so cant be doing to bad.

One question;


Is it ok to tie up the big fan leafs which are blocking light to lower branches??????
